01 Why Permit.Land
Why landowners are making the switch:
| Permit.Land | Traditional Firms | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing | Fixed fees, published upfront. No surprises. | Open-ended hourly billing — you find out the cost after the fact |
| Speed | Work begins within hours | Weeks to start, months to deliver |
| Communication | Private Slack, Teams (or email) with your senior planner | Endless email chains and follow-ups |
| Quality | The same AI-assisted thoroughness and attention to detail on every file. | Human fatigue leads to errors and missed details under pressure |
| Coverage | All of Ontario | GTA or single municipality |
02 Who We Are
After nearly a decade in Director-level roles at leading GTA development firms, Permit.Land was built on a simple observation: planning consulting hasn't changed in 30 years. AI changes that. Every file is handled by a licensed RPP. AI compresses the research and drafting. The judgment and the sign-off are always human.
